College football didn’t just lose its way—it pawned its compass, financed a leased Lamborghini, and told tradition to hit the transfer portal.
It was a headline that I had to read twice: An NBA draft pick deciding to walk away and play college ball instead. Being an NBA draft pick wasn’t enough for James Nnaji.
Lower Gwynedd Township was established in 1698 by William Penn, a very well-to-do township in what is now mostly well-to-do Montgomery County, one of the collar counties of the City of Brotherly Love. I have done a couple of projects in Lower Gwynedd, and not only could I not have afforded a home there, I …
Wealth is created through entrepreneurial coordination under uncertainty, not hoarded as a static pile waiting to be reassigned. Social Security’s problem is not a shortage of billionaires to harvest but a political design that ignores time preference, demographics, and capital accumulation.
This article goes to press just hours after they identified the shooter as an immigrant from Portugal, Claudio Neves Valente, age 48, a former Brown University engineering grad student. He entered the country under the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program lottery in 2017 and was given a green card.
It was with some amusement that I saw the screen blurb screen captured to the right in Wednesday morning’s Philadelphia Inquirer “Newsletters” section of their website main page. When schools move ‘tough-to-teach’ kids | Morning Newsletter by Paola Pérez | Wednesday, December 17, 2025 | 6:00 AM EST It’s not unusual for students to switch …
Until institutions decide to reward courage instead of punishing imperfection, we’ll keep getting leaders who need 27 meetings to schedule a meeting.
America used to build things — bridges, railroads, skyscrapers, ships, engines, rockets that broke gravity’s neck. Now we build strip malls that collapse after 12 winters and school systems that produce seniors who can’t measure a 2×4 without crying.
I pulled my two beautiful children out of public school and put them into a Catholic school. I wanted a refuge. I had faith that in a Catholic school, I would find virtue. What I found was pretense.
The latest cautionary tale in the news concerns a man who had his fifteen minutes of fame, enjoyed the trappings of power for decades, and now, at 70, Larry Summers is suffering quite a fall from grace.
When I retired in 2017 and finally got settled back in Michigan around 2019, I decided to try something new — teaching. I earned my interim certificate and took a job in what turned out to be one of the poorest counties in the state, measured by home values and income. You could see the poverty in the houses, the roads, and, more than anything, the expectations kids had for themselves.
The system brags about meeting “state standards,” but half those standards were written by people who couldn’t change a tire, much less balance a budget. So we end up with teenagers who can solve for x but can’t make change for a $20.
It was late. I pulled into the campus after seven o’clock to attend my last class of the semester. My last college class. Ever. It was a night class. In America, most self-respecting people my age were finishing supper, settling down to watch “Wheel of Fortune.” But I was in school. I had been attending …

The American Library Association is inflaming a nothing burger. You want to read a “banned” book, nothing is stopping you.

A dastardly historical maneuver is “historic negation.” The facts of history are erased and newly imagined facts are recorded and taught.
We reported, on Friday morning, how public schools in the Pyrite State have been required to treat mentally ill boys who think that they’re girls as real girls, and how such has caused a number of other high schools to forfeit girls’ volleyball games rather than play against ‘transgender’ players. The Wall Street Journal has …
